Maulana Rafif you’re exactly right. In every category on KZfaq, the ones that make good videos have the least amount of subscribers. I thinks it’s mostly because of all the stupid kids that would rather see vlogs, and get emotionally attached to someone they will never know or meet, instead of actually watching an in depth review of a particular product.

I have the laptop bought the highest specs 16GB ram, i7 8th gen with 512GB SSD, for a great price $999. I believe you have not mentioned the fast charging feature it will take the laptop from 0 to full in around an hour. It is incredible for the price and the performance is phenomenal. I agree about the battery, but I do not think it was a deal breaker for all the specs and price it will come with. Keep up the good work:)

Good review but I'd say you were way too generous about the the quality of the speakers...... especially given that you gave them a rating of 9, the same as the rating you gave the Yoga 920's speakers. There is a night and day difference between them. In fact, the tinny sound of the Yoga 730's speakers was the main reason I decided to return it and got a Yoga 920 instead.

I would recommend it, at the time I bought it was 650(with student discount) at best buy I also got it for tax-free so it was a really good deal. I came from an old HP windows 8 laptop which I hated because of its 10 min battery life. So far Battery Life has been really good but don't expect too much like a MacBook Pro. The brightness is great it works for me as a college student, I am mostly inside I put at 40-50% and looks amazing. One really good part of this laptop is that it has two USB C ports if you had a monitor or an external GPU to play games to get work done. I will soon get one but this is a really good future proof system. So far it has only been about one month so I will report if there is any issues. If you have any question about buying it or about the product or even the student discount. I am lovely to help. Thanks
